Practice
“Practice makes perfect” is a common expression to most. I also heard someone add that “perfect practice makes perfect.” Would you agree?
The level of perfection may be subjective to each individual. However, the need for practice must be a part of our growth and development as leaders.
Olympic athletes prepare from a young age. The drills, routines, or exercises are perfected through hours of daily practice. Their life is dedicated to one purpose, performing for those few minutes without giving way to pressure.
Several qualities of a leader may actually be inherent, but one thing is certain, developing the ability to lead must be practiced continually.
